Cause (Documented platform behavior): mlx-lm imports mlx_lm.models.<model_type>; ImportError is converted to ValueError.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- mlx-vlm suggestion not from the fetched source.
- Exact text is a format string "Model type {model_type} not supported."
- exact string is generic; match together with product/context
